Hey all..,
I normally do all my recording on 2" tape and have it down. I always use Ampex 499. Also use the same for 1/4" mix.
But a recent project has me experimenting with a decidedly simplistic recording situation.
I am in the process of recording a black metal band in mono using my Nagra field recorder. So far so good. Its a fun learning experience, trying to get everything balanced just so and picked up on one mic in one pass. We have a ways to go, but so far so good.
But now, ive been asked to record it to cassette (in stereo, oh my gosh!). I have several Tascams of the 112 124 type, there is even a high speed machine somewhere around here. I have only used them to get material off of cassettes. But this is where I am out of my wheel house....
What tape type and length should I be using? I thought I had read here Maxell of the high bias or metal type and no longer in length than 60 minutes. Is this right?
Thanks
